Better yet, a desi who is a teacher and doer in human rights activism. She'll go into the trenches in the name of social >justice (she's often threatened with violence for her work), and she's middle ag

I guess Anjana Chatterji is sexy in the way that propagandists like Biju Matthew are sexy. She purports to be concerned about communal violence in S. Asia but spends 100% of her time excoriating the Hindu community. Investigations into crimes against Hindus in Pakistan & Bangaldesh apparently don't meet CIIS's high standards for academic inquiry. I think they should stick to teaching dance therapy & "body work"...

But then maybe once one hears a geologist open their mouth and start racy science talk that’s what gets the blood pumpin As a Law geek I think I’ll stick to Mark Darcy as a human rights lawyer in Bridget Jones’s Diary

Some people are talking about sexy desis in the physical science fields of higher education, and tashie here is talking about Darcy as a sexy human rights law geek. Why not find a happy medium and start looking for desi profs/researchers in the humanities? That pool of desi sexiness is waaaay larger. Just off the top of my head…

Behold postmodern desi virility. If you’re not compelled by the pic, then you need to come listen to his tour de force of sexy geekiness in lecture. He even made me change my mind about desi accents.

And how about a hottie who’s a teacher and a doer? Pic doesn’t do her justice. She’s pretty intense in person.

Better yet, a desi who is a teacher and doer in human rights activism. She’ll go into the trenches in the name of social justice (she’s often threatened with violence for her work), and she’s middle aged!!

I took geology iin class XII and on a field trip to some hills , which backed up against a a nude beach, the prof. kept talking about exposures. Nerdy as we were, we were more taken by the pun than the you-know-what .

The point of this post actually is not sexy but geologist which to me is sexy. It's a nice shot of feel-good to see that non-geeks, who clean up nice and have interests outside of their research, are making it in the sciences, especially the geosciences, today.

Let's change the topic a bit: Does one have to look like Michael Manga to be a desi who makes it onto People's Sexiest List?

He looks 100% native indian. Bollywood would cast him as a villain or a servant. You gotta look like you have at least some muslim khan pathan blood to be considered sexy in India.

Do you have any connection to kamat's potpouri, by the way? Beige Sage,

Not specifically. They do list my blog as with many others, and I sometimes get referrals from their portal.

Otherwise, no connection.
